I'm getting weird DMA errors on my Fedora Core 5 computer. The motherboard is an ASRock P4VM800 with 512MB DDR Celeron 2533 MHz Model 4 hard drive is a Hitachi 7K80 7200 rpm parallel-ATA 80 Gig. Fedora is installed on /dev/hda7 9.4 Gig partition ext3 The DMA error message shows up during big file, or multiple file, copying from one directory to another, and during bootup. dmesg shows this message: cd ..hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriverStatus Error BadCCR } ide: failed opcode was: unknown Sometimes the error message shows up at one point in the boot process, sometimes in another. During really big copies, the DMA error message is quite frequent. I also have XP, 98SE, and Slackware on the machine but so far none of them have this error, or maybe they're not telling. Can anyone tell me how to deal with this problem?
BadCCR...? Could you mean BadCRC? If so, Google says your drive is dying. "I'm Feeling Lucky" Link: http://linuxgazette.net/issue76/tag/10.html On 30-May-06, at 3:20 PM, schwartz wrote:

Not unless he was thinking about "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR. Then again apart from playing an MP3 (or something similar) I'm not sure how he got CCR on his computer. ;-) Sorry about that.

Those errors are more likely signs of failing drive. You should use the smartmontools to do a status check on your drive. http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Hard drives have had SMART technology for years and Linux has had these tools for just about as long yet no distro (that I'm aware of) activates smart monitoring by default.

One real negative about SMART is that its mostly IDE only. Even though SATA drives have SMART capability the Linux kernel doesn't support it unless you are using the very newest kernel (just checked and 2.6.15 is the first version to support it).

Yup. I should have said "a real negative is it doesn't work with SATA drives until kernel 2.6.15". Ironically this thread reminded me to check into that because I have a server with SATA drives that have been unmonitored since the switch to libata about a year ago. I just installed a new kernel a few weeks back and I'm now finally able to re-implement proper drive monitoring on it. Seems to work perfectly with SATA now.
